Informal Training Sessions (from 9 Nov to 7 Dec)

Hey everyone,

Due to the upcoming reading week and examinations, the club's training will be of informal training sessions. The training venue will temporary shift to SRC Dance Studio (it's above Great Wall Restaurant, and near the overhead link to YIH) from 9 Nov to 7 Dec. After which, official training will resume on 11 Dec at MPSH 2.

Hope to see you all there! :)

Apologies for the long hiatus.. we haven't been sleeping all this while! Holding our very own mini mid-autumn festival celebration, performing for the Graduate Students' Society's mid-autumn festival celebration, and of course, busying ourselves with the Beginners' Course.. the list goes on

The Beginners' Course for this semester officially ended with a little test for our participants on 19 October, Monday. Core techniques were the foci, to help participants refresh themselves on the basics taught throughout the course, while also including intermediate movesets to provide a peephole into the greater world of Wushu which yet remains unexplored. It is our wish that all Beginners' Course participants have reaped both tangible and intangible rewards from the Course and the final test. We hope to see everyone coming back for trainings often!

To everyone else, it isn't too late to join us! Catch us at the stadium behind the soccer goalposts every Monday and Friday, 7pm onwards. Don't hesitate to drop us an email at nuswushu@gmail.com if you have any queries.

Have a great week ahead!

Hi all

The 8th National Wushu Display will be held this year, 19 September, 7pm at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Tickets are priced at $18, $15, $10 and $6 (student price, student card required for verification).

Student tickets usually sell out fast, and this is an event which will really open your eyes and your mind to the world of Wushu. Whatever the reason, be it to draw inspiration for choreographing advanced routines, encouragement for personal improvement or simply an excuse to escape from school work and chillax with friends, you really really should not miss out on this!

Leave your names and contact details with us via email to nuswushu@gmail.com, and we can get the tickets all at once.

Hi everyone.

Of course, what makes wushu more enjoyable is that you get to make new friends who share the common interest, that is wushu, as you. You will get to train and improve together and also there will be lots of fun and laughter around.

So, if you are the type who would like to challenge yourself, or if you like making new friends, then come join us. See you soon.
